Quantifying the Morphological Differences Between Fur Seals and Sea Lions

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The eared seals (family Otariidae) are divided into fur seals and sea lions, despite a lack of cladistic support for these groups. The division is primarily based on hair morphology, and it is unknown whether any other morphological signal differentiates these two groups.

Effect of angle on flow-induced vibrations of pinniped vibrissae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Two types of vibrissal surface structures, undulated and smooth, exist among pinnipeds. Most Phocidae have vibrissae with undulated surfaces, while Otariidae, Odobenidae, and a few phocid species possess vibrissae with smooth surfaces.

Avian influenza overview June–August 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Between 5 June and 28 August 2026, 110 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus detections were reported in domestic (7) and wild (103) birds in 12 countries in Europe. The number of detections remained at a seasonal low throughout the summer, continuing the decline observed since spring.

Biogeography and History of the Prehuman Native Mammal Fauna of the New Zealand Region

Diversity
The widespread perception of New Zealand is of a group of remote islands dominated by reptiles and birds, with no native mammals except a few bats. In fact, the islands themselves are only part of a wider New Zealand Region which includes a large section
